    Sharing a seat of SE?

    There's one thing that sucks about the Home Use license. If you print any drawings, it has a "SOLID EDGE HOME USE" watermark on every printed page. I work 3 days at home and 2 in the office. Now I can only print drawings when in the office.

    Any major issues with Version 19?

    Actually, MS Sharepoint is free, but the documentations says it must run on SQL Server, which is not free. I have SQL Server and Sharepoint running, but can't get the stupid Insight to run. I need to get it running here at home before I try it out on our live server at work. Anyone know of a...

    what could happen if diesel fuel was ran in a gas engine

    When buying aviation fuel, it's easy to tell what you have: 100 octane is green, 100LL (as in "low lead", the most common avgas) is blue, and Jet-A, JP-4, -5, and -8 are white, or straw yellow. Anyone who's ever received a single flight lesson will know that avgas is either green or blue, and...

    Smokey's Adiabatic Engine

    For whomever it was that wanted to see the patent: http://www.delphion.com/details?pn=US04862859__ Whether or not it worked, it would not have passed today's emission standards. I read an article from a college engineering dept. somewhere that tried to copy his work, and they got very high...

    In SE12, the number "1" doesn't show up in dimensions.

    Thanks for the reply. That did work. I'll have to try it a while to see how it runs. I can now see the '1s' at any font size, even the default, but after rotating the assembly, there is a pause and some of the parts disappear while it repaints the display. As long as it doesn't slow things...

    In SE12, the number "1" doesn't show up in dimensions.

    Well it took a while, but I finally figured it out. I installed it on a second machine running the beta .NET server OS, since it's really close to XP. To my surprise, it worked. So, uninstalled and reinstalled on the XP machine. Still didn't work. Then for some reason, I played with font...

    In SE12, the number "1" doesn't show up in dimensions.

    Very strange. I just got this new contract design job and they gave me the new SE12 that they had but had never loaded or used, so they couldn't help me. Anyways, when I'm dimensioning sketches, the number 1 is always invisible. Example, if I typed in 12.151 for a dimension, it would...
